Colouring as Meditation?

When I recently read an article by http://wellandgood.com about adult colouring books and their positive effect on wellness, I decided this would be a great post to include on my blog since it’s all about Nourishing. Nourishing your mind and your body.

I absolutely love the idea of colouring as a form of mediation. I find it kind of crazy that since childhood I have all but forgotten about colouring. Mind you, since I now have children I do find myself from time to time doing a little bit here and there with them.
